Journal ArticleDOI
AGO1 defines a novel locus of Arabidopsis controlling leaf development
Karen Bohmert,Isabelle Camus,Catherine Bellini,David Bouchez,Michel Caboche,Christoph Benning +5 more
TL;DR: An allelic series of the novel argonaute mutant (ago1‐1 to ago1‐6) of the herbaceous plant Arabidopsis thaliana has been isolated and encodes a putative 115 kDa protein with sequence similarity to translation products of a novel gene family present in nematodes as well as humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant triacylglycerols as feedstocks for the production of biofuels
TL;DR: The generation of transgenic soybean lines with high oleic acid content represents one way in which plant biotechnology has already contributed to the improvement of biodiesel.
Journal ArticleDOI
WRINKLED1 encodes an AP2/EREB domain protein involved in the control of storage compound biosynthesis in Arabidopsis
Alex Cernac,Christoph Benning +1 more
TL;DR: Oil-accumulating seedlings showed aberrant development consistent with a prolonged embryonic state, and the putative AP2/EREBP transcription factor WRINKLED1 (WRI1) is involved in the regulation of seed storage metabolism in Arabidopsis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contrapuntal Networks of Gene Expression during Arabidopsis Seed Filling
TL;DR: This article used microarray data to examine changes in gene expression during Arabidopsis seed development and compared wild-type and mutant wrinkled1 ( wri1 ) seeds that have an 80% reduction in oil.
Journal ArticleDOI
wrinkled1: A Novel, Low-Seed-Oil Mutant of Arabidopsis with a Deficiency in the Seed-Specific Regulation of Carbohydrate Metabolism
Nicole Focks,Christoph Benning +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that a novel mutant locus, wrinkled1 (wri1), which maps to the bottom of chromosome 3 and causes an 80% reduction in seed oil content, is involved in the developmental regulation of carbohydrate metabolism during seed filling.
